Meals On Wheels in peril

Lana Speer, Meals on Wheels cook, and Anne Wilson, nutrition aid, begin their day at 7:30 a.m. by readying a strawberry cream dessert to go with the meals being sent out to as many a 65 clients per day.

Sidney's Meals on Wheels program serves 65 clients per day, on average. To provide 1,179 meals in February during its 23 days of service, it had a budget of $2,500.

Sidney's Meals on Wheels receives its funding and resources from the Aging Office of Western Nebraska (AOWN) in Scottsbluff.
